Battle Station marks the return of space combat to the Battlefront series, with Rebels and Imperials set to duke it out over the infamous Death Star.

Much like Turning Point, the new game mode puts Rebels on the offensive. It will feature three separate phases, each with a different objective.

The first of these pits A-wings and X-wings against Tie Fighters, as the rebels attempt to clear a path for their Y-wing bombers to attack an Imperial Star Destroyer. Once enough damage has been dealt, Rebel players can target weak spots on the Destroyer to bring it down, while those on the Imperial side do their best to stop them.

Phase two takes the fight to the interior of the Death Star, featuring areas inspired by the original three movies. In this phase, Rebels have to extract a high priority droid from the space station. Players will be able to utilise the new heroes Chewbacca and Bossk to aid their side during the battle.

The third phase sees space combat return once again for an epic finale – destroying the Death Star. Luke Skywalker and his Red-5 X-wing is on hand to aid the Rebels during this final assault, while the Imperial side will be able to make use of Darth Vader and his Tie Advanced Fighter.

As well as the new game mode, Battle Station will include new Star Cards and weapons.

Battle Station launches this September, and will be available to purchase separately or as part of the game’s Season Pass.
